This antique brass bound Indian military chest dates to the 19^th century and is the perfect size for a coffee table. It is constructed from beautifully patinated teak and has its original brass fittings. This is a fine example of an Anglo-Indian military chest. The front is a single panel of teak wood with a distinctive grain.

Military chests were used by officers of the British Indian Army to carry their kit and personal possessions whilst on tour, they were made to order and had to withstand a lot of punishment in transit. Woods used were dependent on rank, and chests were reinforced with brass or iron corners for extra strength.

This particular piece is typical of Andhra Pradesh in South India. The legs are original to the piece.
